CONSTRUCTING EYE-BARS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 299,491, dated May 27, 1884.

Application filed August 28, 1883. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, JOHN NAEGELEY, J r., of Pittsburg, in the county of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Constructing Eye- Bars; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon.

My invention relates to an improvement in the art of constructing eye-bars; and it consists in the employment of recessed sections for forming a pile at the end of the bar, for enlarging it for securing the necessary metal around the opening made therein, as will hereinafter be more fully described, and particularly pointed out in the claim.

To enable those skilled in the art with which myinvention is most nearly connected to make and use it, I will proceed to describe its construction and operation.

In the accompanying drawings, which form part of my specification, Figure l is a perspective View of asection of the eye-bar. Fig. 2 is a top View or plan. Fig. 3 is a transverse section of one form of pile for constructing the end of the eye-bar. Figs. 4 and 7 are modified forms of constructing said pile. Fig. 5 is a top view or plan of the bar prior to the pilebeing formed at the end thereof. Figs. 5 and 7 are top views of the eye-bars with the piles formed thereon, as shown in transverse section in Fig. 6.

Reference being had to the accompanying drawings, A represents the ordinary plain bar formed by the rolling process, and is out into suitable lengths for the eye-bar. B is a transverse section of bars recessed on one side to the depth of the'bar A, and are cut into short lengths and piled around the bar A, as indicated in Figs. 3 and 7, for forming the necessary pile for obtaining the amount of metal around the eye or opening 0, (indicated by dotted lines in Figs. 1, 2, 4., 5, and 7 The pile, when thus formed, is heated to a weldingheat and welded by the forging process, so as to form a single body, the eye or openingC being subsequently made therein.

I am aware that it is common to form piles around the end of a bar in the manufacture of eye-bars, and therefore wish it to be distinctly understood that I do not claim, broadly, the forming of a pile on the end of a bar and subsequently heating and welding the same to gether; but

What I do claim is As an improvement in forming re-enforced heads to eye-bars, the construction of the reenforcing 'piecesone for each side and edge of the bar-'of two rabbeted plates whose shoulders respectively abut against the edges, and whose plane portions lie upon the faces of the bar, substantially as shown and described.
